Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Schneiden von Frischfleisch-Stücken, insbesondere Hähnchenbrust-Filet, mit einem Schneidkopf, der ein Schneidwerkzeug aufweist, das als endlos umlaufendes, über angetriebene Umlenkrollen verlaufendes Schneidband ausgebildet ist, mit einer Zuführstation, die ein Förderband aufweist, mittels dem auf das Förderband aufgelegte Frischfleisch-Stücke dem Schneidebereich des Schneidwerkzeugs des Schneidkopfes zuführbar sind, mit einem Niederhalter für das zu schneidende Stück Frischfleisch und mit einer Abführeinrichtung für die geschnittenen Teilstücke des Frischfleisches.The invention relates to a device for cutting fresh meat pieces, in particular chicken breast fillet, with a cutting head having a cutting tool which is designed as endlessly circulating, running over driven pulleys cutting belt, with a feed station having a conveyor belt, by means of placed on the conveyor belt fresh meat pieces are fed to the cutting region of the cutting tool of the cutting head, with a hold down for the piece of fresh meat to be cut and with a discharge device for the cut portions of fresh meat.

Vorrichtungen der vorbezeichneten Gattung sind als Bandschneider bekannt, mit denen Fleischwaren, wie Aufschnitt, aber auch Frischfleisch aufgeschnitten wird, wobei die geschnittenen Teilstücke zumeist Scheiben mit vorbestimmter Dicke ergeben. Es erfolgt also mit den bekannten Vorrichtungen ein Zerlegen des zugeführten Frischfleisch-Stückes in Scheiben von jeweils gleicher Dicke. Der Schneid-vorgang mit den bekannten Bandschneidern ist damit dem Schneiden von Backwaren vergleichbar, bei dem ein Brotlaib ebenfalls durch entsprechende, zumeist quer geführte Schnitte in gleichmäßige Scheiben zerlegt wird.Devices of the aforementioned type are known as tape cutters, with which meat products, such as cold cuts, but also fresh meat is cut, the cut pieces usually give discs with a predetermined thickness. It takes place with the known devices, a disassembly of the supplied fresh meat piece into slices of the same thickness. The cutting process with the known tape cutters is thus comparable to the cutting of baked goods, in which a loaf of bread is likewise broken down into corresponding slices by means of corresponding, mostly transversely guided cuts.

Ein Hähnchenbrust-Filet hat eine typische Form, die vom Kunden leicht erkennbar ist. Das auf einer Ablage liegende Hähnchenbrust-Filet ist etwa tropfenförmig. Hähnchenbrust-Filets werden stückweise gehandelt, wobei jedes Hähnchenbrust-Filet andere Dimensionen aufweisen kann, sowohl hinsichtlich seiner Abmessungen als auch seines Gewichtes.A chicken breast filet has a typical shape that is easily recognizable by the customer. The chicken breast filet lying on a tray is about drop-shaped. Chicken breast fillets are sold piecemeal, with each chicken breast filet having other dimensions, both in terms of size and weight.

Für eine Vielzahl von Kunden ist ein Hähnchenbrust-Filet eine zu große Portion Fleisch. Nach dem Zubereiten wird deshalb das Hähnchenbrust-Filet stets in Portionen zerlegt, wodurch es seine ansprechende Formgebung verliert.For a variety of customers, a chicken breast fillet is too big a serving of meat. After preparing, therefore, the chicken breast filet is always disassembled into portions, whereby it loses its attractive shape.

Ein vor der Zubereitung in zum Verzehr geeignete Portionen zerlegtes Hähnchenbrust-Filet, beispielsweise gewürfelt oder in Querscheiben geschnitten, läßt sich allerdings nur noch schwerlich vermarkten, weil die Kunden die ansprechende Form vor dem Kauf des Hähnchenbrust-Filets oftmals noch sehen möchten.A chicken breast filet, for example, cubed or sliced into slices, can only be barely marketed before being prepared for use in portions suitable for consumption because customers often still want to see the appealing shape before purchasing the chicken breast fillet.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum Schneiden von Frischfleisch-Stücken, insbesondere Hähnchenbrust-Filet zu schaffen, mit der es möglich ist, Hähnchenbrust-Filets in Teilstücke so zu zerlegen, daß jedes als von einem Original-Filet stammend, optisch erkennbar bleibt.The invention has for its object to provide a device for cutting fresh meat pieces, especially chicken breast fillet, with which it is possible to break chicken breast fillets into pieces so that each originating as originating from an original filet, visually recognizable remains.

Diese Aufgabe ist durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Weiterbildungen und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen 2 bis 12.This object is solved by the features of patent claim 1. Further developments and advantageous embodiments of the device according to the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims 2 to 12.

Bei der Vorrichtung zum Schneiden von Frischfleisch-Stücken, insbesondere Hähnchenbrust-Filet ist zwecks Zerlegung des Hähnchenbrust-Filets in optisch und/oder gewichtsmäßig gleiche Teilstücke, von denen jedes aufgrund seiner Form als Stück eines Hähnchenbrust-Filets erkennbar bleibt, erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, daß der Schneidkopf in einem Maschinengestell stellbeweglich um eine Achse gelagert ist, wobei die Achse in der Förderebene des Förderbandes der Zuführstation und parallel zur Förderrichtung verlaufend ausgerichtet ist, und wobei das schneidende Trumm des Schneidbandes seines Schneidwerkzeugs in einem freien Schnittspalt verläuft, der einerseits durch eine endseitige Umlenkrolle des Förderbandes der Zuführstation und andererseits durch ein parallel zur Umlenkrolle angeordnetes Element der Abführeinrichtung begrenzt ist.In the apparatus for cutting fresh meat pieces, in particular chicken breast fillet is for the purpose of cutting the chicken breast fillet in optically and / or equally weighted pieces, each of which remains recognizable due to its shape as a piece of chicken breast fillet, according to the invention provided that the Cutting head is mounted in a machine frame umstellbeweglich about an axis, wherein the axis in the conveying plane of the conveyor belt of the feed station and aligned parallel to the conveying direction, and wherein the cutting run of the cutting band of its cutting tool in a free kerf runs, on the one hand by an end Deflection roller of the conveyor belt of the feed station and on the other hand is limited by an arranged parallel to the deflection roller element of the discharge device.

Dadurch, daß der Schneidkopf stellbeweglich ist, kann das in dem Schnittspalt verlaufende schneidende Trumm des Schneidbandes in jeweils gewünschte Winkelstellungen zu der Förderebene der Zuführstation gestellt werden. Das zugeführte Hähnchenbrust-Filet, welches auf dem Förderband der Zuführstation liegt, wird vom Schneidband dann in entsprechende Teilstücke zerlegt, sobald es im Schneidbereich über den Schnittspalt geführt wird. Die Kanten bzw. Begrenzungsflächen jedes abgeschnittenen Teilstückes verlaufen somit in durch die jeweilige Stellung des Schneidkopfes vorgegebenen Winkeln zur vorzugsweise horizontalen Ebene des Förderbandes der Zuführstation. Der Schneidkopf kann in dem Maschinengestell durch eine Schwenkbewegung um die Achse auch so eingestellt sein, daß das schneidende Trumm des Schneidbandes seines Schneidwerkzeuges parallel zur Förderebene der Zuführstation verläuft, womit das zugeführte Frischfleisch-Stück dann in waagerechte, flache Scheiben aufgeschnitten wird. Durch Stellschwenken des Schneidkopfes läßt sich das Schneidband in davon abweichende beliebige Winkelstellungen zum zugeführten Frischfleisch-Stück bringen.Characterized in that the cutting head is adjustable, the running in the kerf cutting Trumm of the cutting band can be placed in each desired angular positions to the conveying plane of the feeder. The supplied chicken breast fillet, which lies on the conveyor belt of the feed station, is then separated by the cutting band into corresponding sections as soon as it is guided over the cutting gap in the cutting area. The edges or boundary surfaces of each cut piece thus extend in predetermined by the respective position of the cutting head angles to the preferably horizontal plane of the conveyor belt of the feed. The cutting head can be adjusted in the machine frame by a pivoting movement about the axis so that the cutting run of the cutting band of its cutting tool is parallel to the conveying plane of the feed station, whereby the supplied fresh meat piece is then cut into horizontal, flat slices. By adjusting pivoting of the cutting head, the cutting band can bring in deviating arbitrary angular positions to the supplied fresh meat piece.

Da die auf dem Förderband liegenden Fleischstücke je nach Schwenkstellung des Schneidkopfes mehr oder weniger flach geschnitten werden, sind Maßnahmen zu treffen, die ein Abheben des Fleischstückes von dem Förderband, insbesondere im Schneidebereich verhindern. Nach einer Weiterbildung weist die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung dafür einen Niederhalter auf, der als über dem Förderband angeordnetes, umlaufendes Andruckband ausgebildet ist.Since lying on the conveyor belt pieces of meat are cut more or less flat depending on the pivot position of the cutting head, measures must be taken to prevent lifting of the piece of meat from the conveyor belt, especially in the cutting area. According to a development, the device according to the invention for this purpose has a hold-down device which is designed as a circumferential pressure belt arranged above the conveyor belt.

Das Andruckband des Niederhalters läuft mit der gleichen Geschwindigkeit, mit der auch das ein Fleischstück transportierende Förderband der Zuführeinrichtung umläuft, sodaß ein Förderspalt zwischen Förderband und Andruckband gebildet ist, in welchem das Fleischstück zuverlässig erfaßt und niedergehalten wird, während es dem im Schneidebereich befindlichen Schnittspalt zugeführt wird.The pressure belt of the hold-down runs at the same speed with which also a piece of meat transporting conveyor belt of the feeder rotates, so that a conveying gap between the conveyor belt and pressure belt is formed, in which the piece of meat is reliably detected and held down, while fed to the cutting gap located in the cutting area becomes.

Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß das dem Förderband zugekehrte, untere Trumm des Andruckbandes zusammen mit dem ihm benachbarten oberen Trumm des Förderbandes den vorbezeichneten Förderkanal für auf das Förderband aufgelegte Frischfleisch-Stücke ausbildet.This is achieved in that the conveyor belt facing, lower run of the Andruckbandes together with the adjacent adjacent upper Trumm of the conveyor belt the aforementioned conveyor channel for launched on the conveyor belt fresh meat pieces.

Das Andruckband des Niederhalters kann so ausgerichtet werden, daß es geneigt ist, sodaß sich der ausgebildete Förderkanal zum Schnittspalt hin verengt. Durch geeignete Justierelemente kann die Abmessung des Förderkanals, insbesondere sein freier Querschnitt, den zu schneidenden Frischfleisch-Stücken ohne weiteres jederzeit angepaßt werden.The pressure belt of the hold-down can be aligned so that it is inclined, so that the formed delivery channel narrows towards the kerf. By suitable adjusting elements, the dimension of the conveying channel, in particular its free cross-section, the fresh meat pieces to be cut readily be adapted at any time.

Damit eine sichere Mitnahme der zu transportierenden Fleischstücke innerhalb der Zuführstation gewährleistet ist, weisen die mit Fleischstücken in Kontakt kommenden Oberflächen der Bänder von Förderband und Niederhalter eine aufrauhende Profilierung auf. Dies können z.B. Noppen oder dergleichen Erhebungen sein, die eine schonende Mitnahme des Frischfleisch-Stückes gewährleisten, was insbesondere bei empfindlichen Hähnenbrust-Filets, deren Fleischkonsistenz derart zart ist, daß es kaum mechanischen Belastungen standhalten kann, angezeigt und zweckmäßig ist.In order to ensure a safe entrainment of the pieces of meat to be transported within the feed station, the surfaces of the belts of the conveyor belt and hold-down coming into contact with pieces of meat have a roughening profiling. This can e.g. Nubs or the like surveys that ensure a careful entrainment of the fresh meat piece, which is particularly appropriate for sensitive chicken breast fillets, the meat consistency is so tender that it can hardly withstand mechanical stresses, is appropriate and appropriate.

Zur Einstellung und Variation der Winkelstellungen, die das Schneidband des Schneidwerkzeuges des Schneidkopfes im freien Schnittspalt, jederzeit wiederholbar, einnehmen soll, ist nach einer anderen Weiterbildung vorgesehen, daß der Schneidkopf eine Zahnschiene aufweist, mit der ein Stellritzel kämmt, das auf einer ein Handrad aufweisenden Stellwelle sitzt, die in dem Maschinengestell gelagert ist.To set and vary the angular positions that the cutting band of the cutting tool of the cutting head in the free kerf, repeatable at any time to take is, according to another development provided that the cutting head has a toothed rail, with which meshes an adjusting pinion, which sits on a handwheel having a control shaft which is mounted in the machine frame.

Dadurch, daß die Zahnschiene als Teil einer Kreisbahn ausgebildet ist, die in einem vorbestimmten Radius um die Achse verläuft, um die der Schneidkopf stellbeweglich ist, kann der gesamte Schneidkopf mit Hilfe des vermittels des Handrades drehbaren Stellritzels um die Achse verschwenkt werden.Characterized in that the toothed rail is formed as part of a circular path which extends in a predetermined radius about the axis about which the cutting head is adjustable, the entire cutting head with the aid of the handwheel rotatable pinion can be pivoted about the axis.

Sind vorbestimmte Schwenkstellungen des Schneidkopfes erreicht, ist es möglich den Schneidkopf in der jeweiligen Schwenkstellung zu arretieren. Schneidkopf und Maschinengestell weisen dazu gegenseitig in Wirkverbindung bringbare Festsetzorgane auf, die betätigbar sind, um den Schneidkopf in einer jeweils vorbestimmten Schwenkstellung am Maschinengestell festzusetzen.Are predetermined pivot positions of the cutting head reached, it is possible to lock the cutting head in the respective pivot position. Cutting head and machine frame have mutually operatively engageable Festsetzorgane, which are operable to fix the cutting head in a respective predetermined pivot position on the machine frame.

Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Weiterbildung zeichnet sich die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung dadurch aus, daß das Maschinengestell eine Hubeinrichtung für den Schneidkopf aufweist. Damit ist der Schneidkopf zusätzlich zu seiner Schwenkbewegung um die parallel zur Förderrichtung der Zuführstation verlaufenden Achse auch noch heb- und senkbar.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment, the device according to the invention is characterized in that the machine frame has a lifting device for the cutting head. Thus, the cutting head in addition to its pivoting movement about the axis extending parallel to the conveying direction of the feed station also can be raised and lowered.

Dadurch, daß die Hubeinrichtung wenigstens eine lotrechte Stellspindel aufweist, auf der drehbare Schloßmuttern sitzen, mit denen eine quer zur Förderrichtung der Zuführeinrichtung gerichtete Hubbewegung des Schneidkopfes ausführbar ist, läßt sich z.B. die Höhe der Ebene einstellen, in der das dem Schneidebereich zugeführte Frischfleisch-Stück in den Schnittspalt eintritt. Ist z.B. das Schneidband mit Hilfe der Verschwenkung des Schneidkopfes so ausgerichtet, daß es parallel zur Förderebene der Zuführeinrichtung verläuft, womit das Frischfleisch-Stück in waagerechte Scheiben zerschnitten würde, läßt sich mittels der Hubeinrichtung die Dicke der einzelnen geschnitten Frischfleisch-Teilstücke einstellen.Characterized in that the lifting device has at least one vertical adjusting spindle, sit on the rotatable lock nuts with which a transversely directed to the conveying direction of the feeder lifting movement of the cutting head is executable, for example, adjust the height of the plane in which the cutting area supplied fresh meat piece enters the kerf. For example, if the cutting band with the help of the pivoting of the cutting head aligned so that it is parallel to the conveying plane of the feeder, bringing the fresh meat piece would be cut into horizontal slices, can be adjusted by means of the lifting device, the thickness of each cut fresh meat cuts.

Selbstverständlich können Hubbewegungen mittels der Stellspindeln und Schwenkbewegungen des Schneidkopfes auch miteinander kombiniert bzw. einander überlagert werden, um jeweils gewünschte Einstellungen zu erreichen, die ein optimales Schnittergebnis der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung bieten.Of course, strokes by means of adjusting spindles and pivoting movements of the cutting head can also be combined or superimposed to each other to achieve desired settings that provide an optimal cutting result of the device according to the invention.

Die zu schneidenden Frischfleisch-Stücke, insbesondere Hähnchenbrust-Filets, werden dem Schnittspalt mittels der Zuführeinrichtung dadurch zugeführt, daß sie zunächst auf das Förderband der Zuführeinrichtung aufgelegt werden. Damit stets gleichbleibende Auflegepositionen gewährleistet sind, damit auch das jeweils gewünschte Schnittergebnis gleich bleibt, ist nach einer ebenfalls vorteilhaften Weiterbildung vorgesehen, daß das Förderband in dem hinsichtlich der Förderrichtung vor dem Schnittspalt liegenden Auflegebereich für Frischfleisch-Stücke, eine Ausrichthilfe für das Auflegen in jeweils gewünschter Lage und Position zu dem Schneidebereich des Schneidwerkzeuges des Schneidkopfes aufweist.The fresh meat pieces to be cut, in particular chicken breast fillets, are fed to the cutting gap by means of the feed device in that they are first placed on the conveyor belt of the feed device. To ensure consistent laydown positions are always ensured, so that the respective desired cutting result remains the same, is provided for a likewise advantageous development that the conveyor belt in the lying with respect to the conveying direction of the kerf laying area for fresh meat pieces, an alignment aid for placing in each desired Has location and position to the cutting region of the cutting tool of the cutting head.

Insbesondere dann, wenn die Hähnchenbrust-Filets manuell auf das Förderband aufgelegt werden, ist mit der Ausrichthilfe zu erreichen, daß jedes der aufgelegten Frischfleisch-Stücke in stets der gleichen Lage dem Schneidband des Schneidwerkzeuges des Schneidkopfes zuläuft.In particular, when the chicken breast fillets are manually placed on the conveyor belt, it can be achieved with the alignment aid that each of the fresh meat pieces applied runs in the same position to the cutting band of the cutting tool of the cutting head.

Dies wird dadurch gewährleistet, daß die Ausrichthilfe eine längs des Förderbandes verlaufende Schiene aufweist, deren Position und Ausrichtung zur Mittellängsachse des Förderbandes und damit zu dem Schneidebereich des Schneidwerkzeuges veränderbar ist.This is ensured by the alignment aid has a rail extending along the conveyor belt, whose position and orientation to the central longitudinal axis of the conveyor belt and thus to the cutting region of the cutting tool is variable.

Die Bewegungsbahn, die das auf dem Förderband liegende Frischfleisch-Stück in Richtung auf den Schneidebereich des Schneidwerkzeugs ausführt, ist somit mittels der Ausrichthilfe so einstellbar, daß nacheinander aufgelegte Frischfleisch-Stücke immer wieder an der gleichen Stelle des Schneidebereiches auf das Schneidwerkzeug des Schneidkopfes, hier das Schneidband, treffen.The trajectory that performs the lying on the conveyor belt fresh meat piece towards the cutting area of the cutting tool is thus adjustable by means of the alignment so that successively launched fresh meat pieces repeatedly at the same point of the cutting area on the cutting tool of the cutting head, here the cutting band, hit.

Die Frischfleisch-Stücke, insbesondere die Hähnchenbrust-Filets können auch selbst in unterschiedlichen Winkelstellungen zur Förderrichtung, also zur Laufbewegung des Förderbandes, aufgelegt werden. Dadurch läßt sich ebenfalls der Zulauf zum Schneidebereich, und damit ein Schnittbild, verändern. Insbesondere in Kombination mit der veränderbaren Drehstellung des Schneidkopfes und der Hubeinrichtung für den Schneidkopf läßt sich dadurch ein "dreidimensionales" Schneiden von Hähnchenbrust-Filet erreichen. Ein Hähnchenbrust-Filet kann in beliebig dimensionierte Teilstücke zerlegt werden.The fresh meat pieces, especially the chicken breast fillets can also be placed in different angular positions to the conveying direction, ie to the running movement of the conveyor belt. This also allows the feed to the cutting area, and thus a sectional image, change. In particular, in combination with the variable rotational position of the cutting head and the lifting device for the cutting head can thereby achieve a "three-dimensional" cutting of chicken breast fillet. A chicken breast filet can be broken down into arbitrarily dimensioned cuts.

Damit diese Ausrichthilfe zu wiederholbaren Schnittergebnissen führt, die also bei jedem einzelnen Hähnchenbrust-Filet wieder erreicht werden, weist die Schiene der Ausrichthilfe an ihrem dem Schneidebereich abgekehrten Ende einen zur Mitte der Förderbandes hin in eine jeweils gewünschte Knickstellung abknickbaren Leitabschnitt auf. Dieser Leitabschnitt gewährleistet, daß die Hähnchenbrustfilets, z.B. manuell, nacheinander in immer gleicher Position und Lage auf dem Förderband der Zuführstation zu liegen kommen und somit stets gleichbleibende Schnitte durch den jeweils eingestellten Schneidkopf ausgeführt werden.For this alignment help leads to repeatable cutting results, which are thus reached again at each individual chicken breast fillet, the rail of the alignment on its end facing away from the cutting area a towards the center of the conveyor belt towards a bend in each desired bending position guide section. This guiding section ensures that the chicken breast fillets, e.g. manually, one after the other in always the same position and position on the conveyor belt of the feed station to come to rest and thus always consistent cuts are performed by each set cutting head.

Fig. 2 zeigt den durch Einkreisung in Fig. 1 gekennzeichneten Schneidebereich II in vergrößertem Maßstab. Gleiche Bauteile sind mit gleichen Bezugszahlen bezeichnet. Fig. 2 verdeutlicht, wie ein Frischfleisch-Stück, hier ein Hähnchenbrust-Filet 14, das auf das obere Trumm 10 des Förderbandes 5 gelegt wurde, zwischen Förderband 5 und Niederhalter 6 einem freien Schnittspalt 15 zuläuft, in welchem das schneidende Trumm des Schneidbandes 4 des Schneidwerkzeugs des umlaufenden Schneidkopfes 3 verläuft. Fig. 2 verdeutlicht, daß der Schnittspalt 15 durch eine endseitige Umlenkrolle 16 einerseits und andererseits durch ein parallel zur Umlenkrolle 16 angeordnetes Element 17 der Abführeinrichtung 7 begrenzt ist. Fig. 2 shows the by encirclement in Fig. 1 marked cutting area II on an enlarged scale. Identical components are designated by the same reference numbers. Fig. 2 illustrates how a piece of fresh meat, here a chicken breast fillet 14, which was placed on the upper run 10 of the conveyor belt 5, between conveyor belt 5 and hold-down 6 a free cutting gap 15 tapers, in which the cutting run of the cutting band 4 of the cutting tool of encircling Cutting head 3 runs. Fig. 2 illustrates that the cutting gap 15 is limited by an end-side guide roller 16 on the one hand and on the other hand by a parallel to the guide roller 16 arranged element 17 of the discharge device 7.

Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 2 ist der Schneidkopf so eingestellt, daß das Schneidband 4 seines Schneidwerkzeugs horizontal verläuft, wie es hier dargestellt ist. Bei einer Zustellung des Hähnchenbrust-Filets 14 aufgrund von Förderbewegungen im Förderkanal zwischen Trumm 10 des Förderbandes 5 und Andruckband 9 des Niederhalters 6 in den Wirkbereich des Schneidbandes 4 hinein, wird das Hähnchenbrust-Filet 14 längs geteilt in eine obere und eine untere Scheibe, wobei die untere Scheibe, wie es hier ersichtlich ist, eine größere Dicke aufweist als die obere Scheibe.According to this embodiment Fig. 2 the cutting head is adjusted so that the cutting band 4 of its cutting tool is horizontal, as shown here. With a delivery of the chicken breast fillet 14 due to conveying movements in the conveyor channel between Trumm 10 of the conveyor belt 5 and pressure belt 9 of the blank 6 into the effective range of the cutting band 4 inside, the chicken breast fillet 14 is longitudinally divided into an upper and a lower disc, said the lower disc, as can be seen here, has a greater thickness than the upper disc.
